Following an uptick in anti-Asian violence, Cornellians gathered in a virtual teach-in to discuss past and present AAPI racism.
Through the “teach-in,” Professor Carlson hoped to “draw the attention of students who might not be focused on Hong Kong.”
As China has come under international scrutiny for sending Uyghurs — a predominantly Muslim ethnic minority — to detention camps, dozens of Cornellians packed a room in Rockefeller Hall on Monday for a “teach-in” intended to shed light on the situation.
Every Cornell student, regardless of financial aid status, is required to pay a student contribution fee.
“We… wanted to fulfill what we see as our mandate to educate on the Middle East and to do it by bringing the faculty out of the classroom and into the broader Cornell community.”
